In our home both hubby and I like to have Snacks with tea. Though I like deep fried snacks, the calories in them causes some worry! Had half loaf of bread, so thought of trying something with that. I generally bake bread whenever I use them in vegetable biryani, bread upma and other dishes. This time I wanted to keep some stuffing and bake it. Crispy snack is ready, with minimal oil.

Trim the edges of the bread and roll them as thin as you can with a chapathi roller. Add approx 1 tbsp of stuffing in the middle, and seal the edges with little water

Take a baking tray and put parchment paper on top. Use some cooking spray on the paper, and brush little oil on both sides of bread rolls. Bake for 8-10 mins. Turn over and cook for another 8-10 minutes, till the rolls turn golden brown. Serve it with ketchup/ranch

Dry basil – 1 tsp (Fresh basil is preferred. Since I didn’t have them, I used dry basil)

Salt – as needed

Italian Seasoning – 1/2 tsp (Optional)

Olive oil – 1/2 tsp

Method:

Add olive oil to the skillet, over medium-high heat. Add garlic and stir for about a minute. When garlic becomes golden brown, switch off the stove. Add tomato, salt and basil, give a gentle mix. Transfer into a mixing bowl and allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two, if possible

Before serving, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and spoon generously over the slices of Garlic bread

My Notes:

I have used Grape tomatoes. You can also use chopped regular tomatoes/cherry tomatoes

We never forget to order garlic bread while ordering pizza. Addicted to garlic bread, this is one of my favourite quick eat whenever I have French bread handy.

Garlic Bread:

Preparation Time: 5 mins | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Serves: 2

Recipe Category: Appetizers & Snacks

Ingredients:

Garlic – 2 tsp, finely minced

Unsalted butter – 3 tbsp, room temperature

Dry Basil – 1 tsp

French bread – 1/2 Loaf (I used Garlic and Herb Bread)

Cooking Spray/Oil – to grease (I used PAM olive oil spray)

Salt – as needed

Method:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine minced garlic, butter, salt and basil in a mixing bowl. I have cut diagonal pieces like this, to allow for more surface area, about 1 inch thick. Apply the garlic-butter mix on both sides of the bread pieces

Cook both side for about 5-10 min each till it reaches golden brown

My Notes:

You can add 1 tbsp of Parmesan cheese while preparing spread

Instead of French bread, you can even use White/wheat/multigrain bread

Bagel has became part of our Breakfast. Instead of preparing savory using bagel, I wanted to try a sweet version. Had apples in fridge so tried Apple bagel. Apple bagel is easy to prepare and it tasted Delicious.

Apple Bagel:

Preparation Time : 5 mins | Cooking Time : 10 mins | Serves : 2

Recipe Category: Breakfast

Ingredients:

Bagels – 1

Apple – 1/2 small apple, diced

Brown Sugar / White sugar – 1 tsp

Cinnamon – 1/8 tsp

Cheese – 1 tsp (I used Cheddar and mozzarella grated)

Method:

Combine Apple, cinnamon and Sugar in a mixing bowl

Top each bagel half with apple mixture and spread cheese over apple

Bake the bagel halves for 8-10 minutes

My Notes:

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Top each bagel half with apple, cinnamon and sugar. Place on microwave-safe plate lined with paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Top each with cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese is melted and sandwich is hot

When we visited my brother-in-law’s place, my co-sis prepared Bagel for breakfast, that was the first time I had bagel. I liked that, and decided I should prepare bagel for breakfast. Being Pizza lovers, tried Bagel pizzas.

MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Top each bagel half with sauce and veggies. Place on microwave-safe plate lined with paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Top each with cheese. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese is melted and sandwich is hot

Instead of bagel, use Bread and enjoy Bread Pizza:)
